MAC Statistic Registers
Type: R/W
Internal Registers Subgroup: MAC Statistic
Byte Address: 7000h - 7FFFh
The following are a list of statistics counters tracked by the MAC block. The “Source” field
indicates the internal logic block that generates the statistics. The “Priority” field indicates
802.3 priority; “M” as mandatory, “R” as recommendation, “O” as optional. All the “M”
and “R” fields are supported. All the “O” fields are listed in descending priority order of
support.
